I know it will not win but it's about eating!!! My Capensis Alba munching on a fly. Took a minute to curl up around him but he finally did.

Ok, I don’t think I’m edible to compete this month but I went to move a cup of flytraps and found they’d be sniping granddaddy longlegs.

Don't be so hard on yourself. With a little bit of barbeque sauce, you'd be fine.

<chuckle> I really shouldn't use my phone for typing in forums.

But, it'd take ten or fifteen pounds of McCormick tenderizer, too!

I bet Jeffrey Dahmer and Dr. Lector would disagree.

Nah, I'd be too chewy for'em...kinda like taking a big bite of porkchop and it suddenly dries Sahara-dry and triples in size!!!!

Congratulations @Oval!

I've got a burning question, but I didn't want to distract from the contest. It takes a few minutes for a flytrap to form a tight seal -- why didn't the lizard pull its head back out?? Or do they just grow new heads when they lose the old one.

Well, a number of possibilities there, Elena. Could be that the gecko was just weak to begin with, and therefore was unable to pull its head out. Or even the possibility that maybe at the time that there was a predator that it saw nearby, and it was doing the typical animal thing of freezing in place. And by the time it realized it needed to move, it was too late.

congrats oval!

That's what I've always wondered. A little wiggling could have freed it easily, it would seem. When I found it it was already tightly sealed or I would have helped it out. The next day or so, ants were busy breaking down the rest of the body.

Thanks all for the votes, thanks Matt and Leah! Thanks Panman, I PM'd you.

Congrats. I knew no one else could compete with that one.

While I am thinking about it, is there a rule in place that says one can only win a contest every X amount of months or does it not matter?

For a "normal" photo contest, if you win, you have to wait three months before you can enter another. That rule is typically suspended for the holiday extravaganza.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

ChefDean is exactly right. We recently started a three month limit but the December contest is excluded from that rule.
